Whole 30 - Week 2

I can't believe I finished Week 2 of Whole 30 and am almost halfway through. Very exciting stuff!

The timeline for this week:

• Days 8-9: For the love of Gosling, my pants are TIGHTER!
• Days 10-11: The hardest days.
• Days 12-15: Boundless Energy! Now give me a damn Twinkie!

The timeline  cracks me up. Sometimes it's spot on and sometimes it isn't. Days 12-15 have been pretty accurate, but Days 10-11 were pretty easy. 

Random tidbits from Week 2:

• I would say 90% of the time, I am completely content. But when I make a grilled cheese sandwich for Trent, I might really, REALLY, really want to take a bite. Or when I pass a Starbucks I might think just a little bit a lot about how good a chai tastes. But the moment passes pretty quickly. 
• Having more energy, seeing changes in my body, and noticing how much better food tastes all make skipping those other foods worth it.
• I ate tomatoes again! And I didn't gag!
• I don't like eggs but am experimenting with ways to cook them to see if I can find a way that I do like them.

3rd attempt at a fried egg...like it better than scrambled but still don't love.

Breakfast one day

• I am surprised at how much I {most of the time} don't miss bread/carbs. And a little surprised that I miss cheese more.

I did want to eat this bread, but I didn't!

• I ate out twice during week 2 and it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be to ask for modifications. Both times the waiters were super nice and understanding.

See those tomatoes?!?!

I think what is the most interesting for me about all of this is I really think I could maintain something similar to this as a lifestyle. Sugar is a slippery slope for me, so I have to learn how to have it here and there without it turning into a months-long sugar binge. And eating this way {plus cheese} would be totally doable...I think.
